As the father of three very independent children, Snoop Dogg knows a thing or two about parenting. The rapper recently gave good friend Deion Sanders advice about his 14-year-old son, Shilo, who expressed his desire to pursue a career as a rapper during a recent episode of ‘Deion’s Family Playbook.’

“You know it hurts you as a father that they’re not going down the path that you want,” said Sanders to Snoop. The Hip Hop mogul replied to his friend by giving a bit of encouragement. “You helped him find his way,” said the rapper. “As a father, you have to let him walk his own path. You’ve got to let him go into uncharted territory.”

Snoop and wife Shante Broadus parent two sons, Corde and Cordell, and one daughter, Cori, together.

Few celebrities are as honest as Chanita Foster. The former ‘Football Wives’ star recently sat down with BlackCelebKids.com to talk about her life as a mom and philanthropist, and she was both raw and hilarious.

Foster went into detail about her experience with Reality TV that was more on the side of uncut than tailored for Hollywood. “When they asked me to be me, I was me,” said the star. “It was a process. It was a learning process. I don’t take anything back.” Chanita also talked about her charity called Beyond the Game that feeds thousands of children in Africa everyday, and she gave us the hilarious story of how she saved her adopted daughter from making a terrible mistake.

“You never learn anything in school.” That’s what Jaden and Willow Smith say. The teens recently sat down with T Magazine to talk about their creativity and music when the subject of education in its institutional form arose.

“Here’s the deal: School is not authentic because it ends. It’s not true, it’s not real. Our learning will never end. The school that we go to every single morning, we will continue to go to,” said Jaden.

Little sister Willow also chimed in telling T, “I went to school for one year. It was the best experience but the worst experience. The best experience because I was, like, ‘Oh, now I know why kids are so depressed.’ But it was the worst experience because I was depressed.”

In addition to sharing their opinions about school, Jaden and Willow talked about their music, which has taken on a more subtle form. “We’re just trying to make music that we think is cool,” said Jaden. “We don’t think a lot of the music out there is that cool. So we make our own music.” Willow also commented telling the magazine, “The beat is usually what moves me. Or I think of concepts. Then when I hear a beat that is, like, elaborating on that concept, I just go off.”

After being accused of abusive behavior that poorly influences his kids by ex-wife Pilar, Deion Sanders is speaking out about the allegations. The former NFL star told Bossip exclusively that is ex-wife has mental issues.

“When a man walks away, that tells you a lot about the situation; when a man wins custody, that tells a lot about the situation,” said the star.

Deion went into further detail about the outlandish accusations that Pilar made against him while standing before a judge. “If you understood what transpired in court,” shared the celebrity. “The lies about the abuse. I mean when somebody says that you attempted to murder them; how can you kidnap your own kids and you got custody of them?”

Pilar and Deion have three children together. The former Dallas ‘Cowboys’ player has custody of all five of his children.

Sherri Shepherd is learning from everyone these days, especially her son. The former ‘View’ co-host recently told Uptown magazine that little Jeffrey taught her an invaluable lesson about determination.

“I put him on a track team this year to work on his socialization skills,” said Sherri. “Jeffrey found me in the sea of parents [during one of his meets] and screamed ‘Mommy, I’m scared but I’m going to be brave.’ Through tears I saw my baby run. He finished last, but he held his fingers up in the victory sign. He taught me that if I fall, as long as I get back up and finish, I am a winner.”

In being a winner, Shepherd discussed her departure from ‘The View’ which was, “bittersweet, exciting and scary. Seven years I was there and the cast and crew became a family to me. They embraced me when I moved to New York City not knowing anyone. Barbara Walters pushed me past my limits and challenged me. Every single day for about three years, I would go into my dressing room and cry because I felt I did not belong at that table. But her pushing me brought out a confidence where I could sit at that table and say ‘No. Let me finish.'”

Jeffrey Jr. is Sherri and ex-husband Jeffrey Tarpley Sr.’s son. He was born in 2005.

Dwight Howard and Royce Reed are involved in another parental dispute. This time the former Reality TV star claims that her son was abused by his father.

According to TheJasmineBrand, Dwight was under investigation for child abuse after whipping their son with a belt back in August. Reportedly, after the incident took place, Royce went to Child Services (in Orlando where she and her son reside) after seeing bruises and abrasions on Braylon’s legs.”
Dwight was questioned by authorities and cleared of any allegations, according to his representative. Reed however, told Instagram fans a different story.

Dwight has since filed for full custody of his and Royce’s son, citing the former Reality TV star as an unfit parent. Braylon is Royce and Dwight’s only child together.
